An Explicit Electron-Vibron Model for Olfactory Inelastic Electron Transfer Spectroscopy
, 2019 The vibrational theory of olfaction was posited to explain subtle effects in the sense of smell inexplicable by models in which molecular structure alone determines an odorant's smell.

Plasticity in Insect Olfaction: To Smell or Not to Smell? [PDF]
, 2016 In insects, olfaction plays a crucial role in many behavioral contexts, such as locating food, sexual partners, and oviposition sites. To successfully perform such behaviors, insects must respond to chemical stimuli at the right moment.

A heuristic-based approach to code-smell detection [PDF]
, 2007 Encapsulation and data hiding are central tenets of the object oriented paradigm. Deciding what data and behaviour to form into a class and where to draw the line between its public and private details can make the difference between a class that is an ...

Short-Course Pentoxifylline Is Not Effective in Post-Traumatic Smell Loss: A Pilot Study
Ear, Nose & Throat Journal, 2020 It has been suggested that systemic pentoxifylline may be beneficial in the treatment of olfactory dysfunction. The postulated mechanism of action involves nonselective competitive phosphodiesterase inhibition, leading to increased intracellular cyclic ...
